Some days they don’t eat till 4pm, hence the midnight noodle making I need to take the car to the garage but undecided whether to have another coffee first. Feeling spectacularly unmotivated today

Mazlin Oct 2020 11:44am, 1 Oct 2020 9,086 posts	Quote Pin Mazlin Tbh, I ‘pander’ to myself pretty much all the time (‘aww, Maz, do you want those biscuits in this week’s shop? You go for it. You want an over-priced take away coffee? No problem!’) But because I’m an adult (apparently) it’s called ‘self care’ and is encouraged.
